MARTIN JOL blasted Tottenham’s approach to the transfer window which has left him short of firepower ahead of his team’s visit to Upton Park.

Star signing Dimitar Berbatov completed his £4m move to Fulham from Manchester United too late to be involved in today’s trip to West Ham.

But Dutchman Jol insists his side still remain a force, despite the departure of key man Moussa Dembele after Tottenham finally triggered a £15m release clause in his contract.

Jol said: “Look at Spurs, always waiting until the last couple of days, and we’ve suffered because of that.

“That was probably the reason I was a bit annoyed when we played Sheffield Wednesday in midweek.

“I don’t like that – to lose your best players – but Spurs work like that. They came up with the money and we had to react.”

Dust needs to settle first.

If someone had said 2 months ago that we were going to sign: Lloris, Verts, Sigurdsson, Dembele, Dempsey & Ade this window i'd have been over the moon. Losing VDV was the only real shocker, but then he has been looking very injury prone as of late and frankly i can deal with one shock loss.

The feeling I'm having now is kind of like this..

You bring miss world home after a night out, things get hot and steamy.. you undress her, only to find out she has no ****. Very happy with most of our transfer deals, but loosing VDV and not getting Moutinho stung like a bitch.

Dempsey, Dembele, Lloris, Vertonghen, Sigurdsson, (Adebayor) all quality though.

Couldn't we have bunged them £1.2m in used £50 notes?

I know it's a lot of money but we made a profit this window after all...

Almost certainly not - the way shareholder agreements with minoroty shareholders work is that whatever £/share one gets, all get the same. In other words if you need to pay the 15% shareholder 15% x 30m then you also need to pay the 85% shareholder 85% x 30m.

Yes. Very much so. But so was passing on Sahin by AVB because he was forcing Levy's hand for his one target. Fail on his part too. Lots of fools at this party. Only Doris is looking okay at the moment.
Sahin didn't want to join us - he joined Liverpool because they were paying higher wages than Arsenal for the duration of the loan

It's worth noting that every outside source I've seen so far, from the Guardian football blog to Arsenal fansites, have basically been saying it's been a good window for us and that we've strengthened. All this ITK stoking beliefs that we are DEFINITELY 100% getting Moutinho etc clearly distort our perspective and expectations.

i thought the full moon was last night not tonight

Judging by the posts of a couple of members maybe I am wrong about that

Nothing is ever that simple - if we start paying their 15% at a higher price than Porto's share then perhaps Porto were going to come back and get pissy with us, perhaps the way the deal is structured means that there was no quick way to ensure that a legally binding agreement could be made (and translated and shit forget the word but legal thing that needs to be done in these cases) in time for the deal to work properly.

Jol laying into us and the way we have dealt with them!

As much as I love BMJ, he's hardly likely to come out saying what a pleasure to deal with Levy is. Ultimately, Fulham were resigned to selling Dempsey and I think they were happy for him to go anywhere but Liverpool.

Why? You can't correct people and tell them they're stupid when you can't see their posts! :)

I'd rather discuss things with the rational people (and there's only one good poster on that list which is too bad but necessary) than argue with people I detest. If I wanted to argue with idiots, I'd go to RAWK or Blue Moon. Ignore is the single greatest tool on this site.

We have just signed Fulhams best two players from the last two seasons. Has anyone taken notice as to how the link up together? I for one haven't if i'm honest but i'm hoping they have forged a decent understanding between one another and if so that could be vital for us. Has anyone noticed their link up play?
